    It isn't much of a point at all.
    You've got nothing.

    Maybe just stop blaming the victim?

    He blamed himself.
    Read the document.
    Did you approach your mother with these problems when you were 24?

    That Martin (again, the victim) in retrospect has regrets about certain aspects of the way he handled a situation he did not bring on himself in no way mitigates the despicable way in which he was treated by his employer and his co-workers. Martin, in fact, had been struggling with severe depression during this period.

    Listen, fart. I'm just going to assume you're a young 20-something and too naive to know any better. If you're going to be a journalist you will need to learn that words mean things. Objectively. Sooner would be better than later. It might make you feel good in the short run to pop off here on SportsJournalists.com, on your Facebook page, or in a professional capacity, because you think you're smarter than everyone and the world needs to pay attention to you and follow all of your dictates. Hell, you might even be intelligent. But when your need to feel like you're winning a pissing contest overrides your intelligence and you post stupid shit like that above, people are going to think you're stupid. Fight your instinct to say the first thing that pops into your head. Err on the side of silence. Listen. These tips will serve you well.

    You're the one who admitted to knowingly publishing errors on another thread.
    Don't lecture me about journalism.

    I did? Knowingly? Are you absolutely certain about that?

    This recent exchange is an object lesson in fending off your bullies, members and moderators.
    Not only parrying their clumsy attacks- but shoving their face into the dogshit on the grass.

    It's a shame Al Davis does not still run the Oakland Island of Misfit Toys, because he had a lot of success doing that in the 1970s and 1980s. Incognito would be a perfect Raider.

    That's probably a good place to start. For all the focus on Incognito, this is really an organization problem and it's considerably bigger than "there were no good leaders in Miami." I'll be interested to see what the league and the Dolphins do from a policy standpoint.
